We know that the rate of caesarean section in many countries exceeds what is recommended by the World Health Organization, which continues to make warnings about the abuse of this intervention. The fear of doctors receiving a complaint about the complication of childbirth It also plays an important role when it comes to practicing a C-section.
The delay in maternity, which always involves a greater risk, together with infertility treatments that have caused an increase in multiple pregnancy, are also among the main factors that are triggering this type of assistance in recent years.
In many communities, the cesarean section rate exceeds 20% of births, while the rate considered normal by scientific societies is 15% and according to WHO 10%. The worst data, as always, is taken by private centers, where the percentage of caesarean sections skyrockets.
An increase that from the centers of assisted reproduction and many health professionals are trying to stop, as in some hospitals, encouraging births as natural as possible, provided there are no risks.
However, doctors also recognize, I imagine that "unofficially", that in recent years the call is being increasingly practiced in healthcare "defensive medicine" due to the greater demand of the patients and due to the increase in lawsuits.
Even, the gynecology specialty is not the most desired by medical students, among other reasons for the increase in complaints against doctors.
For now, what we can say is that Fear of complaints is one of the reasons why you want to avoid complications in childbirth through caesarean section. It is significant that the complaints have increased in this field, is it that things are not done as well as it should, or that we are realizing that we have rights when giving birth?
